THE ULSTER Ravens will host Munster A in the quarter-finals of the British Irish Cup, which are scheduled to take place on the week ending January 20th, 2012.

Leinster A have also qualified for the knock-outs stages of the tournament and they will host the Welsh Principality Premiership side Pontypridd – probably at Donnybrook.

The latter topped their pool with wins over Leeds Carnegie and Swansea, while Leinster negotiated their way to this stage of the competition without losing a match.

Gary Longwell’s Ravens won all four matches while Munster A finished runners-up in their pool.
